Modding Project: Ring Light MetkuMods. Intro When taking close-up photos, the lighting can become a problem.

The good old flash works most of the time but usually it leaves nasty shadows that do not go well with the photo. There are couple of solutions to this problem; a second flash to remove the shadows and light the scene more evenly or to use a ring light that surrounds the target object with uniform light from every direction. One can buy a ring light from a store but that is no fun.

Two Color Paracord Solomon Bar. Green...Easy Knit Produce Bag. Wall Art for Sienna's Room. First off, let me just say, I really love photos printed onto a canvas.

Really. I knew I wanted a set of them in Sienna's room, but as most of you know, we are still students so our decorating budget didn't exactly cover printing four 8"x10" photos onto a canvas. It's pretty darn expensive for just one let alone FOUR!!! I had seen a few ideas online about getting pictures printed out, then just mod-podging the picture onto the canvas, and sanding the sides a bit, which I liked, but I still really wanted that "printed on canvas" texture on the picture itself. Then, while looking around online one day, I found out that you can actually print from your computer onto tissue paper! Thus, my idea was born.
DIY Cartier-Esque Bracelet. DIY rowing machine. The rowing machine is one of the less familiar fitness machines for cardiovascular training.

Exercisers seem more likely to opt for the famous treadmill or the exercise bike. Nevertheless the rowing machine is as well and maybe even better than other fitness machines. On a rowing machine you strengthen your arms, legs, stomach, back and other muscles.

Inscribing the skins (without any markers or pens!) And magically pre-slicing them before packing them up alongside the peanut butter and jelly helps ensure that they'll get eaten, and that they'll make someone feel extra special.
Epiphanie - HOME - My Life List. We started this business last year with the tag line: "Live life the way you picture it.

" It can be taken literally in the sense that our camera bags allow you to "picture your life" with more ease. But more importantly, it's about the idea that your life is waiting for you to make it yours. "What do you intend to do with your one precious life"?
Solar powered stove using 100% recycled materials.

This is an exercise in recycling and alternative energy use. I used a discarded 62 inch satellite dish and used CD's to create this along with materials that I had laying around. Nothing was purchased for this project. Step 1: Making the base/stand I did not have the base, so I made one from 3" ABS plastic pipe inserted in the ground about 18".
A Beautiful Mess. Hey, friends! I'm here to share my new favorite happy hour recipe! It's fresh, herbal-y, and citrus-y. Mojitos were my first favorite cocktail, and I still love them, but finding new combinations is my current obsession.
